Boy, I wish that guy in the middle would have turned his name tag around so we knew who he was!

So, what's the fingerboard on that black Shearin model fiver? Naturally striped ebony? I'd like to say "reverse skunk stripe" just for fun. Whatever it is, looks great!

Roger looks like he's been slipping some chin-ups and burpees in between QC'ing/finalizing each bass.

Bowing, before you, in the hopes of receiving praise in the form of, 'Dilly, dilly!'...

Dig around on their Facebook page. They did a whole series of posts about it. The short version is that it's painted.
Thank you for adding me.
After two gigs with my new Sadowsky 5...I can clearly say that this is the best instrument I have ever owned. I love it so much, that after scouring the interwebs for a while trying to find a similar NYC 5 Fretless with no luck, I called Sadowsky and Roger answered the phone. It was an honor to speak with him...I was trying to see if they had any NYC Fretless 5's from the NAMM show...I was saddened to find out that there were none to be found and that fretless is custom order only. Roger nicely suggested that I contact Peter when he returned from NAMM to get my new bass in the Queue.
I can truly say that my bass was worth every penny for the tone, playability, artistic finish and quality craftsmanship.
Thank you Roger and Sadowsky Team.
Cheers,
John
Thank you for the kind words, John. Nice to see you here on the Club!
The new Metro Express line is a game changer. For the first time in history, you can get a legitimate Sadowsky for the same price as a high end Fender without having to buy used, making both options available for the same money, and putting the Sadowsky sound and playability within reach of FAR more bassists. I played the Express 5 and it's missing NOTHING. Fantastic bass and value. BIG win.
Has anyone noticed that used prices for Metro "Will Lee" basses seem to be a better value than other Metros? It seems odd to me that a bass with additional features over a standard Metro doesn't hold its value as well. Is it the neck width? The preamp shouldn't be affected since it's defeatable. Single coils, seems a desired option for many. Hmm?
Really like to play one of these Metro Express Sadowsky's here in NC. Does the Sadowsky pre have the VTC on the these?
I've have owned Metro WL4 and 5 stringer's. currently have a Metro WL5 and a NYC WL5. I'll tell you the metro is a great value. And I love the neck width on both 4&5's!
Seems to me like the WL models are a couple hundred more than non-WL, for used Metros. I do think a used Metro is a phenomenal value, though, if it's been well-cared-for.
That is definitely the case new, as it should be. I've just noticed, over the last few months, used prices under standard Metros. I'm not complaining as I own a Will Lee 4, bought new, and am looking for the "right" 5 used.
